    Think I have a step gasket leak

    In December our inground pool started taking on more water via the auto refilled. Our water bill was outrages and now stopping the fill the water has decreased to the bottom of the steps. Guess that’s where the leak is right and if so where do we get the supplies to fix it and how?

    You can always buy a pump rebuild kit on Amazon really cheap and then get a Regal Beloit VGreen variable speed motor to replace your single speed one. https://www.regalrexnord.com/brands/century/products/pool-and-spa/vgreen-evo-variable-speed-motor

    Need new base for Sta-Rite Crystal-Flo, T-240BP-1 Filter

    Not sure I want to fill in with concrete. Perhaps when I put new sand in it I will JB Weld it and use some plumbing straps to put it back together.

    Need new base for Sta-Rite Crystal-Flo, T-240BP-1 Filter

    The base for my filter is cracking apart and I need a new one. Does anyone have a source as every where I look online they say out out stock and I don't want to pay a fortune for one? Perhaps can I use a Crystal-Flo II base?

    Covering up my Grecian Inground Pool

    Ok, so I moved and have a big Rear Grecian inground pool with a walk in spa end. There are two safety hand rails one on the spa end and other along poolside toward the deep end. Both are cemented in place and cannot be removed. Any suggestions on how to do my mesh style winter pool cover?

    Is it worth it??

    Don't use Salt Water with any metal. Being and Engineer and growing up in Cleveland, Ohio where they salt the heck out of the roads in winter and your car rots out taught me life lessons on this.

    I tried the salt system one year and got the same result. No more salt systems on a metal frame pool for me
